 Easy to Use, and Priced Right! December 21, 2008
Steve C. (Fort Lauderdale)
I was looking for a simple program for editing and and was surprised at the features packed in this inexpensive program. Have had it for a year and have edited 100's of photos using cropping, adding text,adjusting color, sharpness, and more. Is it for the pro photographer? No, but you can't beat it for the every day person needing to make revisions to their photos. And for the money you won't be dissapointed.
 good product, but Nova doesn't honor their REBATES! BEWARE December 13, 2008
Lisa Klein (Atlanta, GA)
I've used this product before and liked it, so I thought I would buy the newer version when I upgraded to Vista. I got the product and did everything necessary to get the $20 rebate but NOVA stiffed me! After reading the message boards, NOVA apparently stiffs just about everybody on their rebates. BUYER BEWARE!!!!! This company will NEVER get my business again....never, ever again! I hope they are happy that they get to keep my $20, I'll buy a more expensive product just so I don't have to buy theirs!
EDIT: I contacted Amazon concerning my rebate and Amazon honored the $20 rebate! Hooray! Amazon is AWESOME!!!!!
 Product NOT easy and "Full Refund" for 90 warranty does not exist September 23, 2008
H. Bedgood (La Mesa, CA)
Originally I'd wanted to buy the new Photoshop program but, when I saw this, in store, decided to get this instead because it claimed to easily allow me to do everything I wanted for just over half the price of Photoshop. I REALLY wish I'd have stuck with photoshop!
The product claims to be easy to use to edit photos- This is NOT true at all. The smart trace feature is not accurate and takes multiple attempts to get the area desired.
The box claims to enable you to take a background from one photo and foreground from another to make a new photo. I was unable to do so even after consulting the manual AND emailing a technical support person from the company.
The photo CD does have quite a few pictures (over 3,000) but, they are useless when the program does not allow you to cut out the foreground to combine photos.
The company also does not uphold they're full refund within the 90 day warranty. They require you to pay for shipping and shorten the timeframe to only 30 days. Definitely not sticking to their word. After submitting a complaint to the BBB, they just repeatedly said that they require the customer to pay shipping and that they had only 30 days, never acknowledging their false advertising. Obviously you DON'T get a full refund if you have to pay shipping (for which they also require tracking information which costs more).
This company and their product are not worth the time of day or the money wasted.

I like working on my photos with this program. I haven't had any problems. It works great for me. Have made some really nice pics for printing.
I dare you to make it run... August 28, 2008

As a professional photographer I use Adobe Photoshop on a regular basis. My wife however is a bit intimidated by it. She just wants a simple, "quick & painless" program to play around with photos once in a while.
Photo Explosion looked to be a good fit: Easy to use (per Nova Development) and cheap (compared to the Adobe Suite that I use.) Perfect for someone that doesn't want to tackle Photoshop.
Well, it installed just fine... It's all there because I can find it. But it won't launch, so we've never actually used it. I've tried tech support and uninstalled & reinstalled but to no avail...it simply will NOT run. Oh yeah, the computer should be able to run it without a hitch.
So while it looks like it might be a decent program...I have no way of knowing. Heck, even they seem to have trouble getting it to run. Looks like it's time to just get Photoshop Elements for her...that should make the move to Photoshop easier when she's ready as well.
NOT recommended!
